yeah and especially you I was a Girl
Scout I learned to make knots when I had
a boat I had to make nuts as a
magician's daughter I got all knotted up
in not tricks and so I like them and I
thought I'd show unto you you can do it
you take a rope and you make a knot on
the very end then you make another knot
on top of that and another knot on top
of that until you get a ball of rope you
see that little ball of rope and now you
say to your friends I can throw this
ball of rope this end of the rope at
that part of the rope and make a knot
and then you do it yes how that's such
fun to do and I learned how to do it
when I was just your age oh yeah how old
are you is that a coincidence I was
exactly that age I'm gonna show you how
to do it
the secret is in your wrist I know not
anything you have up your sleeve the
secret is that you flick this wrist the
one holding the ball and you make a loop
like a lariat watch did you see the loop
I'm gonna do it again
there's a loop now they say keep your
eye on the ball keep your eye on the
loop and when you see the loop you throw
the ball through the loop in fact I
always say throw the ball here I go
look throw the ball and I made a double
knot twice as good huh

alright I'm going to tell you a story

one I really love oh this one's called
max the genius Carnegie Hall is one of
the most famous concert halls in the
world max was just four years old when
he first played the piano there how many
of you play an instrument yeah I know
you do
okay little max was a genius everybody
said so one day is aunt
pinched his cheek and she said she
couldn't wait to hear him play with his
Symphony Orchestra the following month
later in his room max rubbed his aching
cheek and he said to his teddy bear
Freddie you're so lucky nobody pays you
any attention people never leave me
alone I just want to be an ordinary kid
and max poked his teddy bear in the
chest like this he went poke poke and he
said well I'm through I'm never going to
play the piano again and - everybody's
hora max kept his word I'm pretty soon
everybody stopped calling him a genius
and max became just an ordinary kid will
one night max dreamed that he was at a
concert hall and Freddie the teddy was
playing the piano
max was amazed the teddy bear was
wonderful all dressed up in a black
tuxedo on a tie and the audience would
not stop clap
when he woke up max the little boy was
furious and he wouldn't speak to poor
stuffed Freddy that day max perched on
the piano bench and he played more
wonderfully that he had ever played
before Max was playing what his teddy
bear had played in his dream only max
was playing it better he would show that
teddy bear and Max's father helped the
boy write the music down and in a month
you know what max was playing with the
Symphony Orchestra the audience would
not stop clapping and the child
considered taking all the credit but
after his third bow he held up his tiny
hand for silence ladies and gentlemen he
said this music was really composed by
my friend Freddy and the audience
immediately began shouting author author
and they laughed when max brought out
his stuffed bear onto the stage and they
imagined that they were in on a great
joke but now at least you know the truth
right
yeah good story I mean that one bears
repeating I dedicate this poem to lamb
chop mary had a little lamb she ate it
with mint jelly and everywhere that mary
went the lamb went in her belly charley
horse I'm sorry really I'm sorry I'm
sorry
